Proverbs 4:3 - The Message

When I was a boy at my father’s knee,
   the pride and joy of my mother,
He would sit me down and drill me:
   "Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live!
Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding!
   Don’t forget one word! Don’t deviate an inch!
Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life;
   love her—she keeps her eye on you.
Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
   Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it;
   never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious.
She’ll garland your life with grace,
   she’ll festoon your days with beauty."
